Methyltransferase complexed with DNA C016 / 2032

Methyltransferase complexed with DNA, molecular model. The strand of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid, green and yellow) is enclosed by DNA methyltransferase 1 (DNMT-1, purple and pink). This enzyme acts to add methyl groups to the DNA, a process called DNA methylation, which can silence and regulate genes without changing the genetic sequence. DNA methylation is also being studied in relation to cancer

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate molecular structure of a Methyltransferase complexed with DNA C016 / 2032. The vibrant colors highlight the beauty and complexity of this biological process. At the center, we see a strand of DNA, represented by green and yellow hues, enclosed by DNA methyltransferase 1 (DNMT-1) in shades of purple and pink. DNMT-1 is an enzyme responsible for adding methyl groups to DNA through a process known as DNA methylation. This crucial mechanism allows genes to be silenced or regulated without altering their genetic sequence. Scientists are particularly interested in studying DNA methylation's role in relation to cancer development. The white background enhances the focus on this bound structural interaction between DNMT-1 and the DNA molecule. It serves as a reminder that within our bodies, countless biochemical processes like these occur constantly, shaping our biological functions. This stunning illustration not only provides insight into molecular biology but also emphasizes the significance of epigenetic modifications such as gene silencing and regulation through DNA methylation. Created by LAGUNA DESIGN/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY, this artwork beautifully captures the essence of genetics research while offering endless possibilities for scientific exploration.
